Opioids may be an effective treatment for chronic and acute pain when properly used (1). However, receiving an opioid prescription in the emergency department (ED) has been identified as a potential risk factor for long-term use (2). Between 2010-2011 and 2016-2017, the percentage of opioids prescribed at ED discharge decreased from 21.5% to 14.6% (3,4). This report provides more recent changes in rates and percentages of opioids prescribed to adults (aged 18 and over) at discharge from the ED by patient and visit characteristics through 2020, using data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS).
当正确使用时,阿片类药物可能是治疗慢性和急性疼痛的有效方法 (1)。然而,在急诊部 (ED) 收到阿片类药物处方已被确定为长期使用的潜在风险因素 (2)。在 2010-2011 年和 2016-2017 年期间,ED 出院时开具的阿片类药物的比例从 21.5%降至 14.6% (3,4)。本报告提供了通过 2020 年国家医院门诊医疗调查 (NHAMCS) 数据,按患者和就诊特征,了解 2020 年 ED 出院的成年人 (18 岁及以上) 开具的阿片类药物的最新比率和百分比变化情况。
